Please join us on March 3 when Greg Jongsma (Acting Curator of Zoology at the New Brunswick Museum) will be presenting on Biota NB. Biota NB is a 20-year biological inventory project supported by the NB Museum in 10 of the largest protected natural areas in the province, ranging in size from 3 000 to 26 000 hectares. The museum’s collections provide data and assure a repository for the collected specimens. This project continues until 2028. Annually, 50 to 70 scientists and others, participate in an intense 14-day BioBlitz that has generated many peer-reviewed publications.
Everyone is welcome, Nature Miramichi member or not.
APRIL 7: Marsh Monitoring
MAY 5: Deana and Peter Gadd (in-person) – iNaturalist
iNaturalist helps you identify the plants and animals around you while generating data for science and conservation. Get connected with a community of scientists and naturalists who can help you learn more about nature! What’s more, by recording and sharing your observations, you’ll create research-quality data for scientists working to better understand and protect nature.
Deana and Peter have been using iNaturalist for many years and know the ins and outs of its use. They will explain how to use this resource, and answer any questions you may have. With the beginning of spring, this is the perfect time to try out iNaturalist.
All are welcome, Nature Miramichi member or not.

Hello
I was wondering if I could sign up for emails to keep me informed as a back yard birder sure could use some company with the same interest
Thanks in advance Sheila Whalen

Hi Sheila,
Yes I can add you to the club’s email list. There are not a great deal of postings regarding feeders but some of our members are very keen birders.
There are a number of avenues. Have you checked out Project Feeder Watch? You could join eBird and see what some local birders might be posting for sightings. You could join the Nature NB Listserv for provincial comments. If you have any questions about these please send me an email, gadd1313@nb.sympatico.ca Peter
